Duke Grabowski, Mighty Swashbuckler!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right, now that I've got your attention...

Shiver me timbers, it's a new piratey point and click adventure game project by Bill Tiller and the crew at Venture Moon Industries, so it is me hearties. What started as a demo spoofing Guybruish Threepwood's 3 tasks to prove himself pirate material, using Unity 3D and the Adventure Creator Toolkit (see my interview with its creator, Chris Burton) has kept growing to become a game with its own identity.

Meet Duke Grabowski.

Duke is a massive, brutish pirate who desperately wants to be an suave & sophisticated swashbuckler. He has a good heart, and he needs your help. He has to complete three tasks to convince his crew he can become captain.

He usually solves his problems by punching. He wants to change, but he doesn't know how.

Duke Grabowski, Mighty Swashbuckler! is an exciting 2.5D adventure game for PC/Mac/Linux/OUYA, in the style of LucasArts and Autumn Moon Entertainment. Projected release date is October 2015.

It's currently got a Kickstarter Campaign running which is doing rather well so far. But it could use more help to reach its initial funding goal and further stretch goals...
